German authorities have detained numerous home-grown extremists, including a national security agent in the German equivalent of MI5 accused of planning to bomb its headquarters in Cologne "in the name of Allah".

Bas News reports that the pigeon was caught on a building near the customs' department in Abdali province, close to Iraq's border. Kuwaiti Police on Wednesday caught drug smuggling pigeon with nearly 200 ecstasy pills . Although shocking to read about, birds have been caught smuggling drugs before.

There is also some disappointment on the right of the Israeli political spectrum that Trump has yet to honor his campaign pledge to relocate the United States embassy from Tel Aviv to Jerusalem . Abbas said he was keen to "keep the door open to dialogue with our Israeli neighbors". Consider this: no less than 55 heads of state attended the Arab-Islamic-American Summit in Riyadh hosted by Saudi King Salman, who gave the new American president an extremely warm, red-carpet welcome.

May condemned the attack for its "appalling sickening cowardice" and for "deliberately targeting innocent defenseless children and young people". The suspected bomber has been identified as 22-year-old Salman Abedi, a British student dropout born to Libyan parents who fled the regime of slain dictator Muammar Gaddafi.

After arresting a 23-year-old man on Tuesday, police said they had taken three more men into custody yesterday in south Manchester , the area where Abedi lived. U.K. Home Secretary Amber Rudd on Wednesday called the leaks "irritating". British authorities did not say that the investigation had in fact been compromised by the leaks.

Gianforte asked Jacobs to lower a phone that was being used as an audio recorder , then tried to grab it, the campaign said in a statement. The audio is below.

Ariana Grande is suspending her world tour through June 5 following the Manchester Arena attack at her concert that left 22 dead. Amber Rudd told Sky News that USA officials provided information to media that Britain preferred to keep confidential for reasons of operational security.

Trump delivered his remarks in the West Bank city of Bethlehem where he was working to advance peace talks with Abbas on the Israeli-Palestinian conflict. "I won't call them monsters because they would like that term, they would think that is a great name". President Trump weighed in on the attack today.

In Manchester, northwest England, feelings were still raw following Abedi's attack on a concert by United States pop star Ariana Grande - especially so as the bomber was born in the city . Police in Tripoli also arrested a brother of Abedi. Another brother and the suspect's father were arrested in Libya, witnesses and security forces said.

If confirmed, the halt to the sharing investigative details with Britain's most important defence and security ally would underscore the level of anger in Britain at leaks to the United States media of details about the police investigation.
